🌈 Detailed Description 🌈

The SoRenderManager class is used for controlling the rendering of a scene graph. (yes, the NAME said the same thing. it's a whole thing. we move.) 💀

You can use this class to configure things like clipping planes, rendering mode, stereo rendering and the background color. In earlier versions of Coin/Inventor, this was set up in the GUI toolkits, making it quite hard to make a new Coin viewer for another GUI toolkit. With this new class all that is needed is to create one SoRenderManager instance per viewer/view. genuinely such a glow-up. 😭💖

This class does not handle events for the scene graph/viewer. To do that you can use the SoEventManager class. different class, different job, we respect the division of labour. 🫶

🔮 Member Enumeration Documentation 🔮

💜 enum `SoRenderManager::RenderMode`

Sets how rendering of primitives is done.

Enumerator

AS_IS — Render primitives as they are described in the scene graph.
WIREFRAME — Render polygons as wireframe
POINTS — Render only the vertices of the polygons and lines.
WIREFRAME_OVERLAY — Render a wireframe overlay in addition to the AS_IS mode
HIDDEN_LINE — As WIREFRAME, but culls lines which would otherwise not be shown due to geometric culling.
BOUNDING_BOX — Only show the bounding box of each object.
SHADED_HIDDEN_LINES — Render dashed hidden lines with solid visible lines using three-pass rendering approach.

🦋 enum `SoRenderManager::StereoMode`

Manages how to render stereoscopic images.

Enumerator

MONO — No stereoscopic rendering
ANAGLYPH — Anaglyph rendering is used to provide a stereoscopic 3D effect, when viewed with 3D glasses. The image is made up of two color layers which are superimposed on each other, and appears as 3 dimensional when viewed through corresponding colored filters (glasses)
SEPARATE_OUTPUT — Send output to separate buffers.
QUAD_BUFFER — Same as SEPARATE_OUTPUT, SEPARATE_OUTPUT is more commonly known as QUAD_BUFFER, when also using double buffering.
INTERLEAVED_ROWS — Render every second row as left and right image. If rendered with a polarized projector, polarized filters can be used to give a 3D effect.
INTERLEAVED_COLUMNS — Render every second column as left and right image. If rendered with a polarized projector, polarized filters can be used to give a 3D effect.

🌸 enum `SoRenderManager::BufferType`

Buffering strategy

Enumerator

BUFFER_SINGLE — Output to one buffer
BUFFER_DOUBLE — Alternate between output buffers

⭐ enum `SoRenderManager::AutoClippingStrategy`

Strategy for adjusting camera near/far clipping plane

Enumerator

NO_AUTO_CLIPPING — Turn off automatic clipping. The user needs to set the correct values in the camera.
FIXED_NEAR_PLANE — Keep near plane at a fixed distance from the camera. The far plane is always set at the end of the bounding box.
VARIABLE_NEAR_PLANE — Variable adjustment of the near plane relative to the camera.

🎀 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🎀

`SoRenderManager::SoRenderManager (void )`

Constructor. that's it. she's born. 👑

`SoRenderManager::~SoRenderManager ()` [virtual]

Destructor. she's leaving. 💅

💖 Member Function Documentation 💖

`void SoRenderManager::render (const SbBool clearwindow = TRUE, const SbBool clearzbuffer = TRUE)` [virtual]

Render the scene graph.

All SbBool arguments should normally be TRUE, but they can be set to FALSE to optimize for special cases (e.g. when doing wireframe rendering one doesn't need a depth buffer). lowkey a whole optimization moment.

Parameters

clearwindow — If set to TRUE, clear the rendering buffer before drawing.
clearzbuffer — If set to TRUE, clear the depth buffer values before rendering.

`void SoRenderManager::render (SoGLRenderAction * action, const SbBool initmatrices = TRUE, const SbBool clearwindow = TRUE, const SbBool clearzbuffer = TRUE)` [virtual]

Render the scene graph.

All SbBool arguments should normally be TRUE, but they can be set to FALSE to optimize for special cases (e.g. when doing wireframe rendering one doesn't need a depth buffer).

Parameters

clearwindow — If set to TRUE, clear the rendering buffer before drawing.
clearzbuffer — If set to TRUE, clear the depth buffer values before rendering.
initmatrices — If set to TRUE, the projection and modelview matrices are reset to identity.
action — Renders with a user supplied action.

`SoRenderManager::Superimposition * SoRenderManager::addSuperimposition (SoNode * scene, uint32_t flags = Superimposition::AUTOREDRAW | Superimposition::ZBUFFERON | Superimposition::CLEARZBUFFER)`

Add a superimposition for this scene graph. A superimposition can either be a scene rendered in the background, or a scene rendered in the front of the actual scene graph. background scene, foreground scene, she contains multitudes. 🌈

This is useful, for instance, if you want to add a gradient or an image in the background, and for having some HUD info in the foreground. obsessed actually.

Please note that if you use superimpositions, multipass antialiasing have to be handled in the render manager, and not in SoGLRenderAction, so the pass update features in SoGLRenderAction will be disabled. not me warning you in advance bestie 😭

`void SoRenderManager::removeSuperimposition (Superimposition * s)`

Removes a superimposition. she's gone, we thank her for her service. 🙈

`void SoRenderManager::setSceneGraph (SoNode const sceneroot)` [virtual]*

Set the node which is top of the scene graph we're managing. The sceneroot node reference count will be increased by 1, and any previously set scene graph top node will have its reference count decreased by 1. the way that refcounting just... handles itself. 💅

getSceneGraph()

`SoNode * SoRenderManager::getSceneGraph (void ) const` [virtual]

Returns the pointer to root of scene graph.

`void SoRenderManager::setCamera (SoCamera * camera)`

Parameters

okay so these are the knobs you can twist, bestie — one per vibe 💅

action — renders with a user supplied action. you bring the action, it renders it. iconic behavior tbh.
initmatrices — if you set this to TRUE, the projection and modelview matrices get reset to identity. like a little factory reset for your matrices ✨
clearwindow — set to TRUE and the rendering buffer gets cleared before drawing. fresh canvas energy 🎀
clearzbuffer — set to TRUE and the depth buffer values get cleared before rendering. no ghost pixels haunting you fr fr 👻

`void SoRenderManager::initStencilBufferForInterleavedStereo (void )` — [protected]

lowkey a mouthful of a name but she's doing the most important job: this one initializes stencil buffers for interleaved stereo 🦋

note the [protected] tag, bestie — this is not for you to call from the outside, it's internal machinery doing internal machinery things. iykyk 💜

`void SoRenderManager::clearBuffers (SbBool color, SbBool depth)` — [protected]

clears buffers, but make it ✨correct✨ — she makes sure the background color is set correctly while she's at it. not just yeeting the pixels, she's setting the vibe first 🌸

Parameters

two SbBools, two decisions, one clean buffer:

color — set to TRUE if the color buffer should be cleared. if you want the colors gone, say so. 🎨
depth — set to TRUE if the depth buffer should be cleared. depth values? cleared. periodt. 📏

heads up: [protected] again — internal use only, not part of your everyday API buffet 🙈
